This device for determining coordinates of a
low Earth orbit object is provided with: a narrow-field
optical telescope (10) comprising a narrow-field image-forming optical
system (11) that has a narrow viewing angle and
high resolution, a narrow-field light selecting means (12) for selecting, from light concentrated by the narrow-field image-forming optical
system (11), light coming from a
low Earth orbit object, and a narrow-field
image sensor (13) for outputting, as narrow-field image data, the light selected by the narrow-field light selecting means (12); a wide-field
optical telescope (20) comprising a wide-field image-forming optical
system (21) that has a wider viewing angle and lower resolution than those of the narrow-field image-forming optical system (11) and that is oriented in the same direction as an orientation direction of the narrow-field image-forming optical system (11), a wide-field light selecting means (12) for selecting, from light concentrated by the wide-field image-forming optical system (21), light coming from a star, and a wide-field
image sensor (23) for outputting, as wide-field image data, the light selected by the wide-field light selecting means (22); and a
low Earth orbit object position coordinate computation device (50) for identifying
celestial sphere coordinates of the low Earth
orbit object by using detected position coordinates of the low Earth
orbit object detected from the narrow-field image data from the narrow-field
image sensor (13) and detected position coordinates of the star detected from the wide-field image data from the wide-field image sensor (23).
